Ok so I'm a bit curious when it comes to the "english-speaking world" 😄

Do you guys have any favorite accent? I heard once that Americans loved the southern accent (I only heard that accent in True Blood to be fair haha), is that true? And I'm expecting girls to say "British" of course.

I personally luuurve the Scottish accent (even though I can't always understand it, since I live in Glasgow hahahaha).
And I've had guys hit on me simply because of my French accent.

How about you guys? Fav? Least favorite?

A woman could say anything to me in Italian and get away with murder.

I don't know about southern accents but I do know I like Southern Hospitality. The girls there are really outgoing, upbeat and warm. It's good to see.



It's weird how I find a woman speaking Italian extremely sexy, but I hate it when it's a guy... I don't like the same accents for both genders I guess.

I knew I wasn't the only one. What's funny is that, when we talk about it with my Scottish friend, she's shocked and says "but the Scottish accent is so ugly!" and the same when people say they like the French accent and I'm like "what do you like about it, it's not beautiful at aaaall!"

Whenever I hear French guys speaking in English I just wanna kill myself haha... And I was very disappointed to know that I had an accent (although some guys notice it right away and others first have to ask me where I'm from because they're not sure).

I grew up in a French school so I'm pretty tired of the French accent. And it's not so much the accent that is bad, it's how French people like to put the same tone into their sentences that comes out as complaining/disgust over everything.



Because French people DO complain about everything. I lived one year in Paris and was pretty depressed over there haha. (I'm Belgian, actually.)

Nice. I think Pecheresse is another Belgian on the forum. Either that or she just likes the Belgian beer. So does Poisson IIRC



Best beer in the world! Especially for girls who don't actually like beer, like me.

I got so much shit for not speaking it properly when I worked there for a few months! My god something like a glass female but with water it's male? *shrugs* headache! lol.

My fav is definitely Scottish or Irish but for some reason when I try it out it just sounds indian /facepalm. My mum taught me a bit of Danish and everytime I go back there I still have NO CLUE as to what they talk about I really need to learn to slur or differentiate the slur LOL.

I've had hit and miss experiences with Belgian beer. Over here in London the bars that serve the fruit beers are great. When it's great, it's the best beer. But I had a chocolate beer in Italy once that was the worst thing I'd ever had. Fair play to them though, the take risks with beer and push the boat out there.



I second the chocolate beer! EW! prefer the fruity ones or just plain normal beer too! What's that store or the franchise called? I just remembered and I need to find out the name!

Also Australian accents anyone? 😄 😄 😄

I like British accent, but I noticed that even the Brits have different accents depending on which part of the country they are from, so I'll go with Liverpool.

Les autres 🙂 Et LOL si vous pouvez le comprendre 😉



C'est dangereux, peut-?tre que d'autres peuvent traduire sur des sites de traduction en ligne, aussi... Donc oui soyons prudents 😄

you have a very nice clear voice. did you ever sing in a choir? 🙂



I did 😄 music has been a passion but when I was little I had a terrible habit of mumbling and not saying the words in correct syntax! My mum enrolled me for voice training just so I could learn to project my voice better.

I'm from the South and have a gripe about Southern accents and Hollywood. It seems no one has figured out that the accents change depending on WHERE you are in the South. You can't just draw out some vowels and add a few "Y" sounds to everything and be good to go. And, while I'm at it, how about just hiring some southern actors instead of mangling the accent?

Rant over. I like accents from Africa and Jamaica.
